Online dating is a convenient way to meet someone in the comfort of your home.<\/p>\n
While nearly half of US adults find that dating has been hard in the last 10 years, many had a positive
\nexperience with online dating apps, and some even found their soulmate.<\/p>\n
However, not all of us are confident enough to even chat with someone.<\/p>\n
If you matched with someone you like but don\u2019t know what to say, here are 5 opening messages that could get the conversation going:<\/p>\n
When you look at the person\u2019s profile, you will see hints of what they are into, and you can start from there.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you won an all-expense trip to anywhere in the world, where would you go?\u201d<\/p>\n
If you and that person love to travel, you will surely get a reply and start a conversation.<\/p>\n
Everybody loves a witty message. So instead of complementing them on their body just like other guys, say something funny like:<\/p>\n
\u201cHow much does a polar bear weigh?\u201d \u201cEnough to break the ice!\u201d<\/p>\n
It works every time.<\/p>\n
Of course, everybody loves to be complimented on their looks, but you should tread lightly with this subject. Instead of saying \u201cYou\u2019re hot!,\u201d you could say something like:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou look gorgeous, I don\u2019t think I deserve to match with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
It might not work for most people, but it usually does.<\/p>\n
Many profile photos feature them with their dogs, so if that is the case, open up with a short but simple dog question like:<\/p>\n
\u201cTop 3 dog breeds, go!\u201d<\/p>\n
This message will definitely get a reply from a true dog enthusiast.<\/p>\n
An opening message should encourage critical thinking, but don\u2019t over do it. You could say something like:<\/p>\n
\u201cDescribe yourself in three emojis, I\u2019ll go first.\u201d<\/p>\n
These messages will not guarantee a response, but there is no harm in trying if you don\u2019t know how to break the ice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
